Château Palmer

Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 2001

Amazing wine again. Loved it. For a 3rd growth not in an exceptional year it was superb. I see why Palmer is seen as a powerhouse and should really be promoted in growth. Yummy. — 7 years ago

Pétrus

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1953

Surprisingly youthful nose of luscious rich plummy baked dark red fruits and the most etheral sous bois and pipe tobacco I've ever smelled. The palate had poise and grace in its age, everything was in fantastic balance. The tannins are shockingly fine, adding the structure that is necessary to hold everything together. Simply superb. I can only hope I show as well as this when I'm nearly 65! — 8 years ago

Marcel Lapierre

Morgon Gamay 2015

A nose of kirsch, cherry and a touch of funky barnyard. Superb acidity and cherry all over the palate. Juicy. Tannins are harder than those of foillard in the same vintage. Very good — 9 years ago

Saint-Joseph Syrah

2013. Superb. Was expecting infanticide and discovered a prodigy. Lighter side of Syrah, perfectly delineated after 1 hr decant. Feminine, lithe lens on allspice, lavender, bacon fat. Swathe of fine tannins. This will evolve for decades, so nicely structured, but worth trying now. As good as the pricier VV I tried last year. — 9 years ago

Domaine du Pegau

Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

Kudos to the boys for all calling it CdP, GV even nailed it a Pegau blind. Bramble, tar and hint of garrigue. Rich, distinctive nose. Amazingly still coming together after 3 hr decant, the pieces all there: beef blood, earth, peppery spice, pipe tobacco. Big tannins on the precipice of melting down and perfectly melding it all together. Just a few years before this passes superb on its way to profound. — 10 years ago

For a 100pt wine I thought it had a non appropriate vegetal character. Aside from that the tannins were really nice the fruit was lovely and the wine was superb yet that vegetal note bothered me. Perhaps it was CF but who knows. — 11 years ago
